Huang Yueying
Lady Huang (birth and death dates unknown), also known in fiction as Huang Yueying, was the wife of Zhuge Liang, chancellor and regent of the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period. Her name was not recorded in history; "Huang Yueying" is simply a fictional name.
In historical records
The only mention of Lady Huang in historical sources was in the Xiangyang Ji (襄陽記; Records of Xiangyang). In the fifth century, the account was added as an annotation by Pei Songzhi to Zhuge Liang's biography in the historical text Records of the Three Kingdoms, which was written by Chen Shou two centuries earlier.
The account stated that Huang Chengyan approached Zhuge Liang and said, "I have an ugly daughter and I heard you are looking for a wife. She is yellow-haired and dark-skinned, but I think her talent matches yours." Zhuge Liang agreed to meet Huang's daughter and eventually married her. Shortly after their meeting, a light hearted proverb was spread among the townsfolk: "Do not follow the manner in which Zhuge Liang chose his wife. He ended up with Huang Chengyan's ugly daughter."

Ball and Chain
by: AnoukI know the drill
You got your ball and chain
It holds you down, the circle round
This story stays the same
It won't be long
And then your heart is frozen
The time has come to break away
You've got it all
What makes you hesitate?
Don't just wait for things
To blow up in your pretty face
Lift the weight
Try not to let it slip away
And you may find yourself again
I feel people just don't know you like I do
Why you're making it so hard to see
When there's something wrong
It goes on and on
I know the drill
You've got your ball and chain
I found out the second round
That some things never change
Open my eyes
And let the days come over me
And maybe it will go away
I feel people just don't know you like I do
Why you're making it so hard to see
When there's something wrong
It goes on and on
You'll see not everybody's here
To break your heart
So there is a price to pay
To be someone you're not
I know the drill
You've got your ball and chain
I found out the second round
That some things never change
Open my eyes
And let the days come over me
